Bjørn Straustrup, the inventor of the C++ programming language, responded to the US National Security Agency (NSA) regarding the agency's recommendation to abandon the use of C and C++ languages that shift memory management to modern programming languages (C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust and Swift).

The scientist and developer believes that the "safe" programming languages mentioned in the NSA report are in fact not superior to C++ in important applications from his point of view.
